THE FREEDOM AND JOY OF BEING AUTHENTIC WITH GOD

1 John 1:9 New King James Version
9 If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

GOOD EVENING IN YESHUA GANG!!!
I know this may sound weird guys, but even though I have read Psalm 32 countless times, I still enjoy it. I especially enjoyed it today, because God showed me something from it that I not only never saw before, but something I needed, and that is to not be afraid to be authentic and honest with God. For who knows how long in my life, I felt like I couldn't be that way, because I had it in my head thanks to the IFB, that if I did, God would be extremely angry with me and cast me away, unless I jumped through some form of spiritual hoops for Him, and it wasn't until I got to college that I learned that was all a bunch of lies. I think that's why the questions from this morning's devotional, really encouraged and challenged my heart in this area, because I always want to be authentic with God, and I pray that you do too. Please read these questions carefully, and I pray that God will speak to your heart through them.

How has being authentic with God helped you?

How has Jesus’ forgiveness lightened your load and changed your life?

Tonight, my friends, I'd like to share some things out of God's word, through this vlog I'd like to share with all of you tonight, and I pray that what I share with you, helps you to see that you too can be authentic and honest with God, and that you have nothing to fear from it. Come join me in this vlog tonight my friends, and learn the true joy and freedom that is found in being authentic with God! 😊

So, my friends, as I close this post with all of you tonight, I encourage you to take the time to not only be thankful for the fact that when you confess your sins, that God has not only forgiven them and forgotten them, but that you can be authentic and honest with Him in doing so. Know that God wants you to confess your sins to Him, but also to seek the forgiveness of those that you've wronged. Know that even when you confess and you seek that person's forgiveness, if they choose not to forgive you, know that God has already forgiven you, and that it's on them! Also know, that you can be honest and pour out your heart to God whatever you were feeling, with whatever struggles you are having, and know that God listens, won't get mad at you for being honest, but also when you confess your sin to Him, as I John 1:9 states above, He is ready and willing to forgive, cleanse you of that sin, but most of all, will never, ever remember that sin, or use it against you (Psalm 103:12). Praise God that it is truly good to know the freedom of God's forgiveness!

UNTIL FRIDAY:

HAVE A TRANQUIL AND SWEET EVENING IN CHRIST JESUS!!!
